This is a postfix/cyrus/mysql system running in a FreeBSD jail. It is

The warning message (at least in the latest version of postfix) is
given only for smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot, so seems that dovecot SASL
is configured, not cyrus SASL and postfix is interpreting "smtpd"
which is your smtpd_sasl_path setting as the dovecot socket path to
connect to for authentication.
postconf -n

don't see it and all the internet seems to use dovecot but I don't
see how whatever imap impacks smtp. Thanks for any thoughts

Which imap server you use is irrelevant. It is relevant which SASL
implementation you use.
postconf -a will give the available SASL implementations.
postconf smtpd_sasl_type will give the configured one. However, you
may have some override to that parameter configured in master.cf.
Hope that helps you track it down.

Just a further bit of info. If I read the following correctly, looks
like FreeBSD has a default of smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot since postfix 2.11.7
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/postfix/Makefile?r1=409551&r2=409550&pathrev=409551
In officially released postfix the default is cyrus. This is probably
why you are getting dovecot SASL even though you didn't specify a non
default smtpd_sasl_type. So if you've got Cyrus SASL installed you can
configure
smtpd_sasl_type= cyrus in your main.cf.
